In 2022, Maui Food Technology Center showcased products from five Maui companies at TIGS. None of these businesses attended the show in-person due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, however, they were able to get the word out about their products to thousands of buyers, wholesalers, and distributors who attended the show.
